individual (diminutive) personal names for bagpipes

Identical types: 6

Endearing name

According to Ricros/Montbel, "a mythological Cabrette with the name [sic] of a young bride, made, in ivory, by [Benoît] Amadieu [1804?-1877?], finalised by [Jean] Franc [1828-1901], and played by [Antoine] Bouscatel [1867-1945]", which seems to contradict, however, the information in the caption to a photo (➺ p.361) of Jean Bergheaud [1908-1979], playing the instrument "of Bouscatel, pierced by Amadieu".
